Bruton Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Darrin Banks-Harrold

Makale Barnett Makes It Two for Grafton
Keeping Bryant company is Makale Barnett, a fellow Grafton player. He picked up 67 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 55 yards.
If the past is any indication, Barnett could be in store for another big game when he takes on Tabb on Friday. When Barnett last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown.
